Dr. Stark gives invited lecture for the Australia Center for Research Excellence in Aphasia on the topic of inner speech!

“Inner Speech in Aphasia: Considerations for measurement, and implications for understanding daily life with aphasia, the language system, and response to therapy.” The concept of “inner speech” was introduced, as well as operational definitions that the aphasiology field, and other fields, have used. Different ways of measuring inner speech were introduced. Then, the talk focused on several studies conducted in Dr. Stark’s lab, comparing/contrasting inner speech measurement, evaluating inner speech in the daily lives of adults with aphasia, and evaluating inner speech as a mechanism spurring recovery after language therapy.

Test-retest reliability of, and importance of task on, linguistic information from spoken discourse in persons with chronic aphasia.
